Divide and conquer. Make a list of tasks. Make a list of sub-tasks for each task.
Writing a paper isn't "write a paper". Its:
1. Lay out the document 2. Perform the research a. Find out about x b. Find out about y 3. Prep your reference documents page (bibliography, whatever) 4. First draft 5. Review/revise 6. Second draft
Once you break something down into more atomic tasks, it'll be more manageable.
Get a corkboard. Post the tasks on there. Focus on making dents. If you don't feel like you have time, communicate with a professor in advance of deadlines. They're much more lenient if you show you have the ability to plan ahead.
